A Wedding Photographer's Dream: How to effectively organize and edit your photos

By Paul Ellis

Shooting
digital photography is both a blessing and a curse. For example,
following a wedding party from 5am until late in the night can easily
leave a trail of photographs numbering in the thousands; even more so
when you factor in a second shooter and an assistant. Throw in the
ever-demanding goal of trying to capture all the moments, unexpected
delights, and emotions of a wedding day and you end up with a lot of
hits and misses. The wedding may be over, but your work has just begun.
Reviewing all of these images to identify the keepers, toss the
rejects, and ultimately make the client happy are not easy tasks. The
end of the shoot marks the start of the tedious post-production
workflow process.

This
“how-to” will help explain how ACD Systems’ new professional product,
ACDSee Pro Photo Manager, can facilitate easy organization and editing
of your photos after the shoot.
